<p>It appears the zulip archive does not specify that it's using UTF-8, resulting in broken rendering for pages like <a href="https://zulip-archive.rust-lang.org/233931tcompilermajorchanges/42684RequireuserstoconfirmtheyknowRUSTCcompilerteam350.html">https://zulip-archive.rust-lang.org/233931tcompilermajorchanges/42684RequireuserstoconfirmtheyknowRUSTCcompilerteam350.html</a> that include non-ASCII characters.</p>

<p>which at least for me renders as <code>â€¦</code> because the web still doesn't default to UTF-8</p>
